The House of Commons has passed
the Irish Coercion bill by majority
of Sc votes. The next important meas
ure to engage the attention of the
House is the Irish Land bill. The
new bill brings the leaseholders under
the act of 1881, thus completing the
work of Mr.. Gladstone, and the clauses
dealing with the purchase of land are
in accordance with the Bright clauses
of the Land act of 1870. The Chief
Secretary promised that under the
bill harsh evictions would be stopped.
A still more extensive measure is
promised in the future. There is lit
tie hope for the success of the land
bill unless it it is materially amended.
This is plain from the attitude of
Lord Randolph Churchill whose
severe criticisms are significant. The
most interesting developments in Eng
lish politics recently have been the
changes in the temper of the constit-
uencies evidenced in several bye elect
ions. The gain of seat in Spalding
has been followed by Liberal gains in
Padding and the gain of another seat
in North Coventry These evidences
of a change of feeling on the part of
the electors are giving the Conserva-
tives no little uneasiness, though their
hold on the present House is seem
ingly secure The Liberals, of course,
are correspondingly encouraged.

Complaint is heard of too much
ward politics. Would the complain
ers be able to suggest better methods
for securing friends of reform to
carry out the principles of the pres
ent advanced movement ? If not
there does not appear to be any sense
in growing at the means adopted for
placing good government on a solid
footing. Hitherto the grievance of
those who perceived the downward
course of the country has been that
very large proportion of the people
who had most at stake in public
policy kept in the background at
election times, when there was some
slight chance of improving the quail
ity of the material in the Legislative
and the executive branches of gov
eminent. If such indifference was
blameworthy when the chances of
doing any good were rather faint, it
would be positively criminal at this
time when public opinion in favor of
reform runs broad and high. Instead
of being a subject to stimulate croak-
ing, the current interest taken in poll
tics by people of all classes should
rather be matter of patriotic congratu-
lation. Of course there is a spurious
article of politics. loud and brawl-
ing variety-which repels men of
good taste; but there is evident in
this community to-day an earnest and
heartfelt purpose, on the part of
young men as well as old stagers, to
devote themselves to hard work in be-
half of permanent governmental re
form. Such spirit is worthy of all
commentator.

Reformers will do well to stay by
the early friends of reform principles.
Summer friendship may be sincere
enough while the sun is in that
solstice, but the attachment to be
depended upon is that formed in the
day of the nations adversely. Those
men who then took up the cause of
good government, when it was pass
ing through its darkest hour, are the
ones now to be entrusted with the
duties and honors of carrying into
effect the doctrines conceded on the
7th of July. People who pretend to
be for reform, but opposed to some
parts of the new Constitution, are NOT
the class the country needs lust now
as Legislators. There is enough in
the Constitution to serve ali the
present purposes of the reform move
ment, and the country should have
rest from all constitutional agitation
for a season. Granting that there
may be several particulars in which
the Constitution will bear revision on.

The nominating convention per
formed an excellent stroke of
work, at the start, in the election of
its officers. The chairman, interpre-
ter and secretary discharged the du
ties of their respective positions in a
mastery manner. In fact, the Judi
cious selection of Convention officers
was the key note of the whole davis
proceedings and showed that the as
sembly meant business and possessed
the discretion necessary for a choice
OF the right men to conduct their

of slang, every clause weighs a ION Ton
The Numbering applause with which
the assembly stepped upon every
plank as it was laid down by the Com
mittee on Resolutions, may be ehar
acterized as an afterclap to the ebulll-
ton of the moral sense of the nation
on the Both of June. It signified
peal of hope after that outburst OF the
volcanic fires of pent-up Indignation,
so long suppressed by a law-abiding
people under the iniquitous legisla
ton of the past few years. The men
and the measures are now before the
electors, and the acceptance of both
will show the world that Hawaii
wants good government established.

REFoRMERs on the island of Hawaii
are troubled because they cannot get
representative men who would be in
position to leave their avocations
during the session of the Legislature.
Probably they could find some good
men in Honolulu, who would look
after the interests of their island faith
fully: The idea of having resident
members is a good one, but under
certain circumstances might with
advantagebe waived.

The Nominating Convention held
in the Music Hall August 18th, was
one of the most important political
assemblies ever convened in this
Kingdom. The issues involved in
the business of the day invest the
event with a peculiar interest, and
the Convention itself may fairly be
considered a supplement to the great
meeting of June Both. In SO far as
the city of Honolulu is concerned,
the Convention contained SO dele
gates-13 from the First Ward, II
from the Second, IL from the Third,
9 from the Fourth, % from the Fifth,
IL from the Sixth, 8 from the Seventh
and IL from the Eighth. Reading
over the lists of names, one cannot
help noticing the thoroughly repre-
sentative character of the delega
tons. Names of Hawaiians. Ameri
cans, English, Germans. Portuguese,
half castles and others will be readily
distinguished among the delegates,
and the various interests of the com
neutrality-suspicious., industrial and
commercial-were represented.

Mon,bers of the Reform Party in
Honolulu NAV well be congratulated
mon the success of the Nominating
Convention. A very representative
ticket for both Mobiles and Repre-
sentatiyes is the result Without the
appearance of being in hurry, the
assembly got through its important
business with commendable expedl-
ton. A Legislature conducted IN
similar style-eschewing nonsense
and devoting itself strictly to the
business in hand would be huge
improvement on former Legislative
Assemblies IN this Kingdom. Good
feeling prevailed throughout the pro
ceedings. Although the claims of
some nominees were advocated IN
vigorous terms by their supporters
and disposed of with scant praise by
others, there was evidently DISPOSE
ton on the part of all the delegates
to waive their own preferences 4
subordination to the great object
view. 1t is to be hoped, we may y
mark in passing, that the Reform,
electorate will take example of the
Convention in the latter respect.N
Every discussion that took place ex-
hibited readiness on the part of the
speakers to concur in whatever
seemed best calculated to secure for
ever for this Kingdom a system of
government according to the "sam-
ple," as expressed by Mr.. Dole. that
the people have had before them
during the past six weeks.

The st. Petersburg correspondent
of the London Daily Necs saws that
the opinion prevails that Russia is on
the eve of radical change in her
system of government. In support
of this view is cited the fact that
General Orsheffski, the recently re-
moved Commander-in-C Chief of the
Russian gendarmery, presented
memorandum to the Gear, in which
the declaration was made that the
state of affairs in Russia is such
that an outburst must be consid
cred inevitable unless the sys-
tenn of government be radically
altered. This step on the part of
General Orsheffski is regarded as
really a revolutionary one. 1t is
further stated that the attention of
the Gar has been drawn to revela-
lions in recent trial of fifteen ter
rorists. From the stenographic evi-
dence taken at the trial, it appears
that the brutality of the authorities
first exasperated the young peonIe
and drove them to crime.
